No more guessing, and no more honking on people to move their clueless asses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Traffic lights would have sensors for about a mile before each on every direction, no need to have people sitting at red lights when there are no cars coming. Current sensors suck balls.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; All highways would have 50mph <strong>minimum<\/strong> speed limit, and optionally a 90mph speed limit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; To get a driver license you&#8217;d have to complete an obstacle course at a speed of at least 60mph. People who can&#8217;t do this should not be allowed to drive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Cars would Jam Cellphones Signals as soon as they start moving. I&#8217;m sick of stupid people on zombie mode when driving, they&#8217;re damn dangerous for everyone around, not to mention the ones texting while driving, those probably deserve to have accidents and die or get a big scare as a process of natural selection, too bad that when it happens they kill innocent people along the way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; If you waste 3 seconds to get your car moving when a light turns green, the traffic light will take a picture of your license plate and send you a ticket for wasting 3 seconds times the number of people you have behind you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Drawbridges would be disabled everywhere between 7-10am and between 4-7pm. It&#8217;s ridiculous how many man\/years in productivity are wasted everyday when these things open up and hold up hundreds of cars so that one stupid boat can pass, specially at peak hours.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; In the future, if cars are to drive themselves, there&#8217;d be controlling computers at intersections making sure cars don&#8217;t have to ever stop, coordinating car speeds, making them go from all directions at the same time and trying to keep a minimum separation between them only by a few feet. It&#8217;d be pretty exciting to go through an intersection on a world like this. No more stupid traffic lights.<\/p>\n<p>If I think of more I&#8217;ll keep updating this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; All traffic lights would have regressive timers to let drivers know when the light will switch from Green to Red and from Red to Green.
